Wondering what to do this week? For the week of December 19 - 25, you'll find stockings hung by the windows with care as staff prepare for the new year. The Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System will be closed Friday, December 23 - Monday, December 26. All libraries will reopen at their regular times Tuesday, December 27.
Some people have asked why the libraries are closed four days in a row this year. When a federal/state/city/county holiday falls on a Saturday, the department/office/business is closed the Friday before as an observed holiday. And when a holiday falls on a Sunday, the observed holiday is the Monday after. Fulton County observes December 24 and December 25 as holidays, so when those days fall on Saturday and Sunday, the county is closed on Friday and Monday, as well. This only happens once every six or seven years.
Rest assured that you can access the Friends' website, http://www.forl.net/, and the library system's website, http://www.afpls.org/, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
